Knowbody really knows what Apple have up there socks for next year so just have to wait it’s just rumours at this point but you’d think the new phones would be different next year since it’s been the same design since 2020

I’m happy with my 14 Pro it’s a much nicer colour (Purple) and I don’t think just them tweaks alone aren’t a good incentive for me to upgrade to it a lot of others feel the same lol

Enjoy though if you got one if not see you next Sept 😂

Tbh even talk about new designs is strange to me. Edges may get a little rounder or more square, and camera lenses change a bit, but there hasn't been a design change since X and there wasn't much of one between the X and the very first iPhone. And then we all just stick them in cases anyway.

Yeah that Camera Control is no good, doesn’t feel very Apple-like as it’s harder to press than I thought and not in a good spot for portrait or horizontal. I’m also finding the screen’s brightness and contrast to be worse than last year’s 15 Pro Max.

I may look in the Apple Store and see if it’s worth dropping down a size this year to the regular pro as this is just too big even though I have big hands.

Here’s the comparison between my iPhone 15 Pro Max and my iPhone 16 Pro Max.

I got the natural titanium after only ever buying the grey/black varieties on offer since the 8 plus. Very happy with its light grey look.

I’ve never been a fan of the gold phones but I have to say, after seeing it in store this morning, the almost bronze looking titanium was pretty gorgeous. Still not for me though.

The ultramarine and pink of the 16s were the standouts. They look fantastic in person. I didn’t get to see teal, unfortunately.

Happy iPhone day!

At least I get to chance to watch some unboxing/initial reviews tonight.

1310 order still in ‘processing’ with ETA 25-30 Sep.
I did think about popping into some stores today, but with finance etc arranged, plus preferring to buy direct I’ve left it….!

Enjoy..!

what did you think of the watch?

I have a Graphite SS S7. I'm actually gutted they moved from SS to titanium. The black watch just feels like a plastic toy tbh. I couldn't actually tell between the aluminium black and the titanium black.

Think I'll stick with my S7 until the Ultra 3 next year.

It didn't want to transfer my eSIM from my 14 Pro Max, just got off the phone with O2 and seems like it's something to do with the SIM being paired with the device so they've had to request a new one manually

If they did the PM in ultramarine I would have jumped at that. Reminds me of the old iMacs.

Is the new camera button functioning perfectly for those who got a non official apple case? like the soft touch and swipe to zoom features?

Interested in this. I went for a fairly cheap case initially. it has a cutout (with angled edges) for the camera button. intrigued to see how well it works (iphone expected 25-30 Sep)

It's painful... over 2 hours restoring apps so far on my 16 Pro Max and nowhere near done. I have 1gbit download broadband and decent WiFi.

Soooooooooo looooooooooong.

Oh god, I forgot about this! I’ve moved house from having 500mb fibre to spotty 60mb. I hope the cable transfers apps, music, photos etc as well as settings, otherwise I’ll be waiting a whole week. 😫

why is this a surprise when it's literally what most people with 15s have been saying ever since the 16 line was announced?
Incremental updates these days. Even the Apple Store guy who served me today said there's no point upgrading every year.

I upgrade annually, and normally there's enough to keep you interested. SAdly not the case this year. The new camera button is getting more annoying as I use the phone. it's right in the way of your right thumb when making a call
